Not much better today. No knitting — that’s always a bad symptom. Appetite is standing up pretty well. Helen continues to struggle mightily with the Downstairs Lavatory Problem — and it isn’t even as if it were her downstairs lavatory. A solution looms for the Cat Problem.
That leaves the Kirkmichael Neighbour and the Ditch. Queer Joe says in his latest post not to harbour resentment. But if your neighbour, after a lifetime of irritation, is effectively preventing you from living in your own house….
I am re-reading Barbara Vine’s The Blood Doctor. (Barbara Vine = Ruth Rendell.) It’s terribly good. I worried at first because I couldn’t keep the family tree straight (it’s important) but I needn’t have been concerned. When one needs to understand relationships, one understands them. She knows her trade.
Wordle: threes for me both yesterday and today. My new dream is of a day when we all score the same. Today started off well, but then we had fours from Thomas and Theo, and twos from Mark and Roger, so little was achieved.

There is a point where resentment/anger is justified and this definitely seems to be the case.
ReplyDeleteI am mildly puzzled that the downstairs lav is a problem, other than finding a plumber and arranging access. Perhaps it is an older style of parts that the current generation just doesn't want to deal with? I have one of those.
ReplyDeleteKnitting too boring? Maybe a brief intermission with a pocket square would help.
Jean, I am wondering whether the fact you are feeling less well might be a sign of another infection? Or just poor sleep and too much worrying?
ReplyDeleteI realise that you are keen to return home, and that the various issues mostly need resolved before you can do that, so they become very important. How fortunate to have all those competent adult children willing to deal with things on your behalf.
Anger at the neighbor seems justified here. Wordle in two yesterday!!
ReplyDeleteStarting to worry again. Everything ok?
